The new NHC Series provides fast and easy transfer of effluent, minimising the time taken. Sliding discharge connectors are an option.
New high-head cutter pumps
TSURUMI, the world leader in sub- mersible pumps, has produced a new range of high-head pumps called the NHC Series.
Cutter pumps handle solids-contaminated waste, chopping mat- erial to ensure clog- free operation.
The breakthrough design enables poultry effluent to be trans- ferred through cost- effective pipes up to 3” at high volume.
Tsurumi’s latest cut- ters achieve heads up to 49m and flows to 1410l/pm.
Aussie Pumps prod- uct manager Albie Bester said, “Tsu- rumi’s breakthrough cutter impeller with tungsten-carbide tips chops through sew- age, straw, plastic, rags and other materi- als in seconds.”
“We’ve seen various unmentionables han- dled by these extraor- dinary pumps, so they are an obvious choice for the poultry waste water collection pit.”
The extra head ca- pability ensures the effluent is processed while removing any blockages and in- creasing productivity.
The pressure enables the pump to compen- sate for inefficient pipe installations without compromis- ing on flow rates.
The best news for users is they are ex- tremely competitively priced.
This provides mass- ive cost savings com- bined with a product that will last, perform better and reduce maintenance costs.
“We often see moun- tains of dead third- world pumps at pump repair centres around Australia,” Bester said.
“You would be hard
pressed to find a Tsu- rumi in any of those piles of disappoint- ment.”
Like all Tsurumi submersible pumps, the NHC Series in- cludes features that extend the life and enhance reliability of the pump.
Significant design details make a big dif- ference.
All Tsurumi sub- mersible pumps are backed with a three- year warranty.
This is possible because they incor- porate features that make them extremely robust.
They are designed for an extended work- ing life in severe con- ditions.
Tsurumi NHC series cutter pumps can be supplied with either floats or guide rail configuration.
Motors range from 1.5kW to 11kW.
The pumps come fit- ted with three-phase heavy-duty two-pole motors with thermal protection.
They are manufac- tured from heavy-du- ty cast iron with DOL start.
Tsurumi submersi- bles are uniquely built to withstand dry run- ning conditions.
The mechanical seals are completely enclosed in an oil chamber with a pat- ented oil lifter.
This ensures they are cooled and con- tinuously lubricated, extending seal life.
Free catalogues on the Tsurumi cutter pump range and other products are readily available from Aussie Pumps and distribu- tors throughout Aus- tralia.

Activists face five years jail
MEMBER for Mara- noa David Littleproud has welcomed new laws that will protect farming families from activist in- vasions.
The Criminal Code Amendment (Agricultural Protection) 2019 intro- duces new offences for using the internet to incite trespass, theft or property
damage on agricultural land.
“Aussie Farms organis- ers have a choice, take your attack map down or go to jail,” Minister Lit-
tleproud said.
“They need to respect
the privacy of farmers or they could spend five years in a cell reflecting on what they’ve done.
“These invasions are dangerous and intimidat- ing, like when 20 activ- ists broke into the Carey Bros abattoir in Warwick or when 100 activists in- vaded Lemon Tree feedlot in Millmerran.
“These have not just been farm invasions, they’re also home inva- sions.
“Aussie Farms encour- aged large numbers of people to trespass on pri- vate property where farm- ers’ children play – put- ting them at risk.”
Farming families that have done nothing wrong have a right to be left alone.
“If activists don’t like
animal farming, there are plenty of ways to make their point without break- ing the law,” Minister Lit- tleproud said.
“I’m proud to see these new laws come in after working hard to protect farmers as the previous Agriculture Minister.
“I congratulate Minister McKenzie and Attorney- General Porter on finish- ing this important work.
“I hope this helps farm- ers feel safer doing their important work feeding our nation.”
Anyone who uses a car- rier service to encourages trespass, theft or property damage faces a maximum penalty of 12 months in prison.
Inciting harassment or intimidation carries a maximum penalty of five years.
